When husband Mike (Avery) is released early from prison and sweeps his family back into a world of crime after a failed drug bust, Parker intervenes blurring the lines between professional obligations and personal desires. Outmatched and outgunned, Parker must turn to the father (Dern) who abandoned him as a child to seek redemption and to help protect the only family he’s ever known.
